Our second session

An image showing all the images being loaded up onto the website and posted in blogs and in the artists studios, There are photos of Thompson making work and drawing his leadership styles, a Zoom photo, Charlie in his studio, a picture of Andi saying hello. Izzati's image form her film with her artwork around her and one of her paintings.

So great to see so many posts appearing in our artists’ studios and see the ideas and art making shared as it happens.

That’s the joy of an online residency, we can understand more about what drives our artists to make art. In our second session we were thinking about what motivates us. For some it’s keeping well, finding joy, bringing joy to others.

For others it’s about raising awareness about what is not fair and what needs to change. We had a talk about money too. Why not? Of course it’s great to make money from our artwork. Other’s do! Many of our artists have followings and fan clubs from their art exhibitions and publications.
